The Best WordPress Posts Across the Blogosphere in March 2014

This month’s selection consists of in-depth tutorials, quick advice and opinion pieces that shine a light on the world of WordPress development. There’s more than a couple of lists of plugins and themes to browse, too, that span subjects like writing, magazines, sliders, and business. Enjoy!

WordPress 3.9 Beta 2 is now available – we’re inching closer to the release of WordPress 3.9 so if you want to get a sneak peek at all it offers (and help the dev team iron out any kinks) Beta 2 is now available for download.

40 Must-Have WordPress Plugins – I love a good list and this set of 40 plugins you need for 2014 definitely fits the bill. Includes premium and free themes that cover features like sliders, live chat, forms, backgrounds, e-commerce, and more.

The Shift to a Front-End Editing Experience – another one of mine, this time at WPExplorer. I delve into some of the latest front-end editor news coming out of WordPress Core dev and how this might affect future development.

The Infographics

I have just one infographic for you this month. If you’ve come across any I haven’t featured here, please let me know in the comments! Though this find is more info than graphic, it does offer some solid advice on dealing with blog comment spam:
